republican party's website tonight. that's migop.org. i am still the general counsel for the michigan republican party. but maybe that's not the michigan republican party anymore. maybe the michigan republican party is no longer at migop.org. maybe the real michigan republican party is at mi-gop.org. the punctuation is sometimes everything. ask the armed panda near you. eats shoots and leaves. if you put a dash between the mi and the gop at mi-gop.org, you find yourself at a totally different michigan republican party website, one where the chair is not kristina karamo but rather this other person, a totally different person. how can both of these people be the chair of the michigan republican party? how can both of these things be the michigan republican party? well, you could try to click through, but it turns out

his election denier supporters when she ran in 2022 to become michigan secretary of state. she lost very badly. she lost by 14 points. i should tell you that she denies the existence of that election result as well. she refuses to admit that she lost, let alone by that huge margin. after nevertheless losing that race, she was elected to take over the state republican party and become its chair. under her leadership, the party fell hundreds of thousands of dollars into debt. i'm not sure whether that hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt includes the more than $100,000 that the party, under her ldership, agreed to pay to the qanon promoting hollywood actor, jim ka veezal, to make a speech at a recent michigan republican party event. over $100,000 for jim when the republican party is bankrupt in that state. or at least deeply in debt. there have also been multiple physical confrontations, fights and stuff, at official michigan

michigan right now? and if so, what is it, and how do you find it? this is actually a hard question right now because if you go to migop.org -- mi, for michigan, migop.org, which has long been the web address of the michigan republican party, migop.org, right now, here's what you find. here's their website. it's live right now as we're looking at it. it's a slick website. it's got a video thing playing in the background. but what's that weird banner across the top. that banner says, a small fringe faction of state committee members staged an illegitimate gathering to claim removal of chairwoman kristina karamo. if you click on that weird banner, you get to this. and the black box there is a video. i swear i'm not going to show you a whole big, long swath of it because it will haunt your dreams. it will at least make you get up

to. depends on whether you put the dash in the name when you try to find the michigan republican party's website. there are two entities competing with two different leaders that both claim to be the official michigan republican party as of right now. it was the reporter jonathan from bridge, michigan today, who first pointed out the two dueling iterations. he told us tonight he thinks it will have to be a court or a national republican party that will have to step in and decide which of these two competing entities is the real republican party from here on out. but as of now, it is not clear. and the silence you hear through all of this is the michigan democratic party, which is doing great. in michigan, the democratic party controls both houses of the michigan legislature and the governorship and both u.s. senate seats and all of the state-wide offices.

duty troops in the streets of washington, d.c., and suggested we shoot americans in the streets. >> when he suggested that we shoot americans in the street. trump's former defense secretary mark esper, the differences between the democratic party and the republican party are myriad and important. in a two party system, each party by definition is really important, even one of the party is occasionally a hot mess. but once one of those two parties is knowingly picking the shoot americans in the street option, the violent overthrow of the government option, the dictatorship on day one option, it does get hard to talk about anything else. and so, here we go. iowa is a week from tonight. the republican cause of the front running candidate has already seen 1200 people criminally charged, over 800 convicted, pled guilty, and

their leadership, to say people accused of sexual assault. former president trump himself was recently found by a court to be liable for sexual assault in new york city. that's a court finding, not just an accusation like in florida, not just a police investigation like in florida. what this action by florida state republican party today shows is that they have ousted that state republican party chairman over these allegations. what this shows is that the national republican party could do the same thing. they very well would have taken seriously their own institutional responsibility, their own gatekeeping role. if the florida gop party can remove their leader and and the political career of their leader for an allegation of sexual assault, the national republican party could at least try to do the same thing for their lead, leader, who was found by a court to be liable for the same thing. und by a court to bebut the natn

so, in big important states like michigan and florida, this tells you something about the health of the republican party in the trump era, and perhaps in the trump and ron desantis's arrest, since one of those states is florida. and we will see how this all resolves in michigan, over time, they have to sort it out somehow. you can't have two parties that both claim to be the republican party of michigan. you can't have two different people who claim to be the republican party chair in michigan with the other one illegitimate, and a usurper, and part of a sinister plot. they will sort that in michigan. in florida, at least, they sorted it out today. this messy sort of gut-churning effort that throughout their party need for being an accused rapist, it did finally finish. today they did finally oust him. and that at least shows you that the political parties even today are capable of policing themselves to bad actors from

caviezel to make a speech at a recent michigan republican party event. over $100,000 for jim caviezel, and the republican guardian is a backup in that state. not only they are in that, they have also been multiple physical confrontations, fights, and stuff and the michigan republican party events in the past year. at last check, the michigan republican party was involved in an interesting new legal fight in which they are trying to earn the right to sell off their state headquarters for cash. they have to go to court to do this but they're trying. the new york times reported that over the holiday break -- excuse me, the times reported over the holiday break that after the party stopped to pay the electricity bills at the headquarters, that powered down the electronic locks in the building which left the whole thing open to the public with unlocked doors. open to the public, but cold because it's winter in michigan. so, now, maybe -- the michigan

special meeting indeed. in politics or in anything, it's never a good sign when you have to start your remarks by insisting, i am still here. [laughter] as if that might be a contested thing. but that is what's going on at what might be the michigan republican party's website tonight. again, that is mi gop.org. i am still the general counsel for the michigan republican party. but maybe that's not the michigan republican party anymore. maybe the michigan republican party is no longer at mi gop.org. maybe that real michigan republican party is at mi-gop.org. the punctuation is sometimes everything. ask the armed panda near you. if you put a dash between the mi and the gop, at mi-gop.org, you find yourself at a totally

bolsonaro has since become totally irrelevant in politics of brazil while trump is still at the head of the republican party in the united states and is poised to become the party's nominee for president again. now, part of that is, yes, a brazilian court ruled that bolsonaro cannot run for office again until 2030. he is disqualified from politics for the time being because of what he did. for trump and this country, it's an open question as to whether he might face the same kind of disqualification. the super conservative u.s. supreme court will take up that question just one month from today on february 8th. so it's partly a matter of whether or not there is a judicial penalty for effectively waging war against your own country's democracy. but it's also a matter of how republicans, how the party, how
